QUESTION 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE BUSINESS IDEA 

The information below provides an explanation of multigenerational tourism.

RESOURCE PACK 5

Multigenerational travel, or travelling with family members, friends, or groups of all ages, is a  trend that has become very popular. Many of us feel there is no time because of the pressure of  work, looking after a family, trying to keep up a healthy diet and exercising when possible. 
The holiday should be a time where whole families and friends can be together. Grandparents  get to spend quality time with grandchildren while parents may have time to enjoy a romantic  meal or day out together, knowing their children are in safe hands. Friends and families can  enjoy quality time together, irrespective of age. 
To make the trip enjoyable for all, it should include a variety of activities, such as adventure  (e.g. quad biking, cooking classes or cultural experiences)

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND START-UPS

Small business funding in South Africa 
Start-up funding is not easy to find. There are  various types of start-up funding, as explained  below.

RESOURCE PACK 6

Government funding 
The South African government is a supporter of job creation and entrepreneurship in  South Africa. It offers various types of funding for small businesses: 

  • Grants: awarded in percentages. A business receiving a 100% grant does not have to  repay the government for the grant. When a lower percentage is received, the remaining  balance must be repaid. 
  • Incentives: Businesses that made a profit will qualify for a tax rebate or refund.
  • Equity funding: The government acts as an investor and provides funding in return for a  shareholding percentage in the start-up business. 

Depending on the industry and type of business, the applicant may qualify for funding from the  following government sources: 
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) 
The DTI is responsible for promoting trade, consumer protection, Black Economic  Empowerment and commercial and industrial policy. 

The Black Industrialists Scheme (BIS) 
Managed by the Industrial Development Corporation. The BIS is a grant that previously  disadvantaged entrepreneurs qualify for on the basis that they already have co-funding. 

Green Fund 
A fund that was specially developed to support green initiatives. 

Tourism Transformation Fund 
A National Empowerment Fund (NEF) initiative. This fund is specifically aimed at supporting  previously disadvantaged entrepreneurs and communities in the tourism industry.

Growth Fund 
This fund is for emerging small, medium and micro-enterprises (SMMEs) that create jobs. The applicant will have to meet certain criteria to qualify for grant funding. 

Technology Innovation Seed Fund 
Application for grant funding of up to R1 million to improve research, develop new technology  and concepts that can be used for further business development. 

National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) 
Businesses involved in any form of youth development or upliftment can apply for NYDA  funding.  

National Empowerment Fund (NEF) and NEF Women Fund 
NEF provides support and funding to black-owned and female-owned businesses. 

Crowdfunding 
Instead of approaching one large entity such as a bank or a single investor, crowdfunding  involves raising small amounts of money from many people. Potential donors are reached by  advertising funding needs on social media.  

Angel investing 
Angel investing is when high-earning or rich investors support small businesses. Often this kind  of investment happens during a phase when the start-up ventures do not qualify for other forms  of traditional funding. Angel funding often takes place in exchange for shares or equity, or there  will be a repayment agreement involved. 

Business incubators 
Incubators
are specialists in developing and fast-tracking small businesses with the potential to  grow. They may provide start-up capital and/or other resources, such as office space,  management training, as well as financial and marketing advice. 

Bank loans 
All major banks in South Africa offer business loans. Business bank loans involve a lot of  administration and paperwork and has a long list of criteria that have to be met. Banks usually  provide a more affordable form of business funding than alternative lenders. 

Relief funding 
Small businesses that had to close for a few months, e.g. due to the Covid-19 pandemic, may  be struggling to cover their basic expenses, including salaries. Such companies may apply for  funding from the Solidarity Fund, Governmental SMME Funding, UIF subsidy, as well as through  tax relief.

QUESTION 2.3: OUTSOURCING OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE

TIPS ON CREATING YOUR OWN QUESTIONNAIRE 
By Daniel Ndukwu 

When creating your own questionnaire, you need to  carefully consider the purpose of the questionnaire,  audience or target group. Also consider the method you are going to use to reach your target group, question  order, types of questions, length of the questionnaire,  simple presentation or design and language usage.   RESOURCE PACK 19 
DIFFERENT TYPES OF QUESTIONS
Questionnaire question types 

Not all question types are ideal in every situation. This is the reason why it is important to  understand the type of questionnaire you are creating first. With that information, it becomes  easier to choose the right question types. 

  1. Open-ended questions
    These questions are open for the respondent to answer with more freedom. Respondents write as much or as little as they want. 
  2. Multiple-choice questions
    This question presents the respondent with a list of options and they can ONLY select ONE  option. 
  3. Yes/No questions
    This is a question with only two possible answers. It tends to be a yes/no question, but it can  also be something like agree/disagree or true/false. Use this when all you need is basic  information without going too deeply into the motivations. 
  4.  Scaled questions (range of similar options differing slightly)
    Scaled questions are common in questionnaires and are often used to judge the degree of a  feeling, e.g. never, rarely, sometimes, often and always. A variety of scales can be used.
  5. Picture questions
    These questions replace text with images. Respondents are asked a question and shown  pictures to choose from. It usually has a higher response rate than other question types.

DRONES AT EVENTS 
Event trends – the growing use of drones at events 
By Susan Gunelius, 27 July 2020

10 INNOVATIVE WAYS TO USE DRONES AT EVENTS



1. PHOTOS 
Drones
can take amazing photos of events  from the air that can be shared to social media  for real-time viewing during the event. They  can also take photos before the event, which  can be used for marketing. 

2. VIDEOS 
Drones
take beautiful videos of events from  the air. Drone videos can be used for event  planning, too. For example, when looking at  multiple locations for the event, videos can  help to remember what each place offered or  to be shared with other planners at the office.

 

3. LIVE STREAMING 
Live streaming events are popular and using  drones that move around can make viewers  feel as if they are actually part of the event.  Artists can be live streamed when performing,  a backstage tour and more.

4. SURVEILLANCE AND SECURITY 
Drones can operate as mobile security  cameras. Event staff members can quickly  identify and act on anything that might be out  of place or could pose a danger to people  attending, however people's privacy should  not be invaded.

 

5. LOGISTICAL MONITORING 
Drones can be used to monitor the organising  of the event. For example, drones can monitor  traffic in the parking area and at the gates  or doors. If lines get long, organisers will  immediately know to send additional workers.  Drones can monitor all parts of large outdoor  events – giving an overview of the  arrangements during the event. 

6. VISUAL SHOWS 
Drones
are great for entertainment,  especially visual shows. Many events use  drones for air shows, including night-time  shows with lights timed to music. These  shows always draw a crowd and create a  shareable moment.

 

7. RACING FOR ENTERTAINMENT 
For some events, drone races could work well.  With drone racing, a number of drone pilots  are hired to race their drones at a special  event within the main event. For example,  an air show might promote a drone race where  people can cheer for their favourite drone.

8. SPONSORSHIP 
Companies can invest sponsorship by showing off their logos on drones, which is a  fresh way of brand awareness instead of  logos on water bottles, banners, posters,  conference bags, flyers, T-shirts, etc. 

 

9. MOBILE HOTSPOTS 
Drones can be used as mobile hotspots.  Better internet speed or network connections  are available by adding a drone hotspot.  Having a fast Wi-Fi connection is important to  boost social media sharing and word-of-mouth  marketing during the event.

10. DELIVERY 
Drones are used to deliver items to people  attending an event in creative ways. Drones can be used to drop off food, giveaways,  handouts and contest prizes at official drone delivery areas at the event, keeping safety  regulations in mind.

TOURISM SECTOR RECOVERY PLAN COVID-19 RESPONSE (AUGUST 2020)

OVERVIEW  
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a deep impact on the global tourism sector. Governments  across the world had to implement necessary measures to manage the spread of the  coronavirus.  
Tourism in South Africa, as is the case in the global economy, has been thrown into a crisis by  the Covid-19 pandemic, putting thousands of businesses and jobs at risk. The sector needs to  resume operations as soon as it is safe to do so. 
The re-opening will minimise economic and employment impacts and position the country for  broader economic recovery.  
To assist gradual re-opening, the tourism sector must ensure that all Covid-19 health and safety  protocols must be followed at all times. This includes observance of guidelines for social  distancing, sanitation and hygiene, and the use of appropriate personal protective equipment,  like cloth facemasks, as determined by the National Department of Health (Biosecurity  standards). 
Three strategic themes are central to South Africa's recovery: Reigniting restarting demand by  reassuring tourists of safety protocols in place by all tourism sectors. Rejuvenating supply and  strengthening enabling capability such as the R200 million Tourism Relief Fund, the waiver on  Tourism Grading Fees and the Tourist Guide Relief package in the range of R30 million. 
The approach is to strengthen SMME support, getting multi-stakeholders working together in  developing community assets and ownership. 
Reviving leisure travel after the crisis will focus on VFR and FIT (Fully Independent Traveller)  segments, where itineraries have fewer activities and attractions will be popular.
Rebuilding domestic tourism will be aimed at encouraging local experiences, specifically day  trips and weekend retreats, as well as business travel.  
Repositioning South Africa as a viable tourist destination may take many years, but measures  such as the e-visa, increased marketing of domestic tourism and government's policies on  safety protocols will speed up recovery of the tourism sector. 
South Africa can look forward to a bright tourism future that drives growth and development.
